# The World Map

A live overview of villages, kingdoms and resources

Your strategy in Travian Kingdoms often depends on understanding your surroundings. The **world map** gives you a live overview of villages, kingdoms, and resources — and it grows as the world develops.

-   As new villages are settled, the map automatically **expands by 10 tiles in each direction** when space gets tight.
    
-   Open it anytime by clicking the **Map View button** in the top menu bar.

## Map Controls

On the left side of the map you’ll see:

-   **Zoom In/Out** – Switch between 3 zoom levels.
    
-   **Filter** – Show/hide details (options depend on zoom level).
    
-   **Go to Location** – Center the map on chosen coordinates.
    
-   **Jump to Village** – Quickly focus on your current active village.

-   Treasure locations
    
-   Cropfields (9-crop = single grain icon, 15-crop = double grain icon)
    

Only at this level can you use the **“Croplands” filter** to search for crop fields.
